* AALL & Create: Bear Hugs

 

Hello

I'm back with another AALL & Create project, using #414 Bear Hugs as my focal point.

We've all been feeling the need for a hug lately. How adorable is this little cutie, designed by Janet Klein, with her teddy bear hug!  She is perfect for a 'missing you', 'thinking of you', 'love you,' 'get well soon' or a 'sorry we disagreed' project, and she would be perfect in one of Janet's little rooms.


I applied Distress Oxides directly to the card from the ink pad, spritzed with water and let it dry. Then I lightly dabbed white paint through the #117 Petals and Pods stencil. I used one of the sentiments from Bear Hits and one of the stamps from Visual Ingredients to add some background stamping, along with white paint splatters. Darker stamping and some wash tape form the border.


The Bear Hugs stamp set comes with the girl sat on the chair and the lamp stand as well as two sentiments. The stamp elements in Janet's designs are great fun to mix and match to make new scenes.
The images were coloured with Copic markers.


Washi tape #3 was used to ground my little girl and lamp.
